Sooji Halwa

1.5c milk
1/4c. water
1 dash cardamom
1/4c (or a little less) sugar
saffron- few strands

Combine these in a saucepan, bring to a boil, stir and turn off.

1/4c. Ghee
handful cashews
handful raisins
1/2c. sooji or rava

Melt ghee in a skillet, add cashews and stir until they begin to turn golden, add raisins. Add sooji and continue stirring for a minute or two, then add in milk syrup from saucepan. Be careful as the milk will splatter when added to the sooji. Reduce heat to low-med and stir for another minute or two until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and try not to eat the whole batch in one sitting!
